had a discussion with a friend of mine the other night about how sizes have changed since the early '90s. Googled it and learned a lot about "vanity sizing."

haven't had to worry about sizes for so many years......as my size keeps changing I'm thinking...."wait a minute..I was MUCH thinner the last time I wore this size." Turns out a size 3 today is like a size 7

in the 80s! Wow, really says something, but I don't think I want to think too hard about what.

but it has made me worry a lot less about girls wearing a size 0. Turns out, many of my friends were probably wearing that size in the 80s, it was just called a 4.

TeresaTCA: in a nutshell people will buy more clothes if they feel good about themselves

Nothing wrong with that, except if it continues we'll have sizes that are triple and quadruple 0 which would be getting ridiculous

The higher end stores are especially guilty of this. Wish they would indicate "vanity sized" in their catalogs for online shoppers (annoyed)

The changes are, I think, because people keep getting bigger, and have trouble accepting their personal reality.

(thinking) My dryer keeps re-sizing my clothes for me.
